Installing Maltego

Windows

The correct operating system should automatically be detected on the webpage. In this case, Windows has been detected as shown in the image below:

From the dropdown menu you can choose between installing just the .exe install or the .exe install with Java x64. If you do not already have Java 8 installed on your machine, it is recommended to install the .exe + Java bundle. Once the filetype has been selected you can click Download! to start the download.

Once the download is done, double click the installer to start the installation process. A wizard will start that guides you through the installation.

Linux

You will need to have a windows (X11) system as Maltego is a graphical application.

Maltego is available as a .DEB package (ideal for Debian based operating systems) as well as an .RPM package (ideal for systems that can use the RPM Package Manager) and a .zip archive. Each of these file types can be selected from the filetype dropdown when Linux is selected:

.DEB (DEBIAN PACKAGE)

The Debian packages can be installed by either double clicking on the file within your window manager (such as KDE) or allowing the window managers installer to install the package.
